Kanye cries foul

81695847

They pelted him with rocks and garbage.

And now he's throwing it back.

The Bonnaroo flap between Grammy-winning cry baby Kanye West and the fans who waited until 4:45 a.m. to see his truncated performance continues.

The latest salvo comes from Kanye himself, who took to his Web site and called the music festival organizers "squid brains," among other terms of endearment. He rails about logistics and says something about giving his all. (Fans beg to differ).

Catch his full rant here. Love the ALL CAPS. Doesn't make him look crazy at all.

Spin magazine, which has covered the hubbub since the beginning, wonders how a festival that could handle the likes of Metallica, Pearl Jam and the Flaming Lips could've fallen so far down on the job with His High-Handedness.

How indeed.

Oscar Contenders

  • So "The Dark Knight" didn't make it into the final five after all, never mind that critical and popular support. Let's just call the comic-inspired mega-hit "The Biggest Snubee."

    Here are the best picture contenders in a race that, two weeks away from the Oscars, seems to be a foregone conclusion ("Slumdog") unless there's a come-from-behind possibility ("The Reader" anyone?)

    "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," with Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett; the politically timely "Milk;" rags-to-riches fairy tale, "Slumdog Millionaire," Holocaust best-seller-based drama "The Reader," and Watergate-era biopic "Frost/Nixon."

    Could "Button" and "Slumdog" split the vote, allowing another film to take the prize? Doesn't seem likely. After having clung to "Button" for months as what we thought would be the Academy voters' top vhoice, our money's now on "Slumdog." Momentum can't be ignored.

    Watch this blog for updates, ephemera and all manner of postulating.

Picture this

  • Mmmmm, chocolate Oscar. Not every star will walk away from the 81st annual Academy Awards with a trophy, but if they hit the high-profile Governor's Ball they can have pastry chef Sherry Yard's gold-dusted candy version. Also on the menu from celeb chef Wolfgang Puck is tuna tartare in sesame miso cones, chopped Chino Farms vegetable salad with ginger soy vinaigrette, Maine lobster and caviar. Serve it up!
